Minnesota Governor Tim Walz showcased his dual role as Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate during a recent campaign appearance in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Walz engaged with Michigan football fans at a tailgate before meeting with the University of Minnesota's coach ahead of the anticipated vice presidential debate on Tuesday.

Walz, known for his background as a football coach and teacher, has been actively targeting young voters during his campaign efforts. His visit to the University of Michigan included a warm welcome from students and culminated in witnessing Michigan's victory over his home state school.

The upcoming debate will feature Walz against Republican Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. Meanwhile, Harris held a fundraiser in San Francisco, emphasizing the importance of the election and the need for a change in leadership.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been assisting Walz in debate preparations, simulating the role of Vance. Michigan, a crucial battleground state, has seen significant attention from both Democratic and Republican campaigns.

Following the debate, Walz and Harris plan to embark on a bus tour through central Pennsylvania, aiming to connect with voters and garner support for their campaign.
